Clark Kent leaps tall theories...
Clark: I think I figured out how Lana got her visions. It was the explosion.
Chloe: You think the blast somehow caused them?
Clark: It was more than that. It connected her with someone at the accident.
Chloe: Clark Kent leaps tall theories in a single bound. (all of a sudden comes up with powerful theories?)
How did you arrive at this one? Came up with this?
Clark: Well, apparently there were meteor rocks at the explosion, and I found this article.
Chloe: The De Kretser Syndrome?
Clark: It's kind of like a post-traumatic stress disorder.
There were several cases reported during the London Blitz.
Chloe: "Some people who were huddled in shelters would
find themselves psychically linked after a bomb hit nearby." Okay, I'm sold.(I'm buying that?)

I think all your interpretations are correct, the first one, of course, being a play on "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" quality of Superman. The last one: correct, even though the opposite verb is used.

Thanks, Philip!
A real word play with the last one, even though it happened by accident.
